structure

Hi!

I am wondering if this sentence is properly structured:

Although he chose the book about football, a sport he knows little of, he nevertheless enjoyed it.

I'd say "a book" instead of "the book" unless you mean there were only a few books, one about baseball, one about football, etc. " Otherwise, it looks good.

I would find it more idiomatic to say "a sport he knows little about," rather than "little of," but I don't feel so strongly that I'd call it wrong to use "of."

Otherwise, it looks good.
